David,

Hi,

When we erected our greenhouse 10' x 8' (metal) greenhouse three years ago
we put down 9 inches of hardcore and 4 inches of concrete. That seemed to
be a general reccomendation.


That's what ours sits on too. I laid it in 1982, and until last year it was
used for parking a pickup truck on. It seems to support the greenhouse
equally well :-}

This sort of relates to the question I asked last night, as we already
have a solid concrete base, but the greenhouse we are thinking of
purchasing comes supplied with a base. I presume that from your query,
a concrete base will be preferable to anything supplied by B & Q!
Perhaps the one we are thinking about is cheap enough to discard the
purchased base?

On this note, will you be using gro-bags, or building in beds?
